Imperial troops retreated.

When Bato's conquering army invaded Cologne, the Empire cleanly retreated and made peace with Bretonnia.

Lu made his intention to reconcile clear and sent the messenger a peace letter.

"It looks like the war didn't take place in Cologne, but Cologne is in ruins." Lu En looked at Cologne in ruins, and said helplessly to the sharp claws beside him.

He sighed: "But it's good that the civil war is over, we still have a lot of things to do." ”

The puppet king Jack was naturally executed in public, and now the nobles are gathered in the palace, even if the imperial people still have a little basic morality, they did not put a fire in the palace before leaving, otherwise it would not be an armistice agreement, and it would definitely continue to let the imperial people pay for the repair of the palace.

"The last time we came to the palace, we were still discussing the establishment of the Knights of the Round Table." Lu En said to Berhemond beside him.

"Yes," said Berchmond, "but now we are back in the palace as victors. ”

Lu En snapped his fingers, and now almost all the nobles of Bretonia had arrived at the palace for a political meeting that had been prepared for a long time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first meeting of Bretonnia, and we have a lot to discuss." Lu En said lightly.

He was close to sitting on top of the chief at this moment: "Regarding the formation of the Knights of the Round Table, everyone has any objections to raise their hands!" ”

The Knights of the Round Table, all of them are regency councils, with the Lord of Lu En as the core, and every knight who enters the Knights of the Round Table is a powerful faction in Bretonnia, and they have long been satisfied with this agreement.

It is important to know that Lu En is not a king, and it is impossible for him to exercise the power of the previous king, and the power of Bretonnia can only be used by performing ceremonies such as parliament.

"Unanimous." Lu En nodded in satisfaction.

Although Estella, the queen of Bretonnia, has not yet come to this kind of meeting, what does it matter, she can't understand this kind of meeting, and besides, wouldn't it be a lot more variable for her to interject.

"Then the second resolution." Lu En brought a pile of papers in front of him: "About the prohibition of the marriage of close relatives in Bretonnia." ”

There was a burst of discussion, and it was obvious that this resolution had made many nobles start to discuss it, in fact, the marriage of close relatives was relatively rare among the nobles, but it was a very common thing among the people, because the villages of Bretonnia were too far away from each other, and only one village had intermarried for a long time.

Lu En didn't want to waste time on this kind of thing: "Ladies and gentlemen, the many evil consequences caused by consanguineous marriage are that there are very many disabled people, although consanguineous marriage can also produce geniuses, but compared to more miserable people, I am more inclined to abolish consanguineous marriage." ”

"As for how to make the young people of the two villages fall in love, leave this matter to me."

All the nobles glanced at each other and nodded, since Lu En said so, there is no need to discuss this kind of thing, the nobles are just afraid of trouble.

"Unanimous."

"The third decision is to recuperate, and I believe that after continuous fighting, the peasants of Bretonnia must resume production, and the nobles must begin to open up, or direct production." Lu En leaned his head back on his chair: "I propose to stop fighting in the whole territory and recuperate." ”

The nobles nodded their heads, this point had already been discussed, and there was no need for them to start fighting each other as soon as the civil war was over, which was not good.

"Fourth resolution." Lu En glanced at the fourth piece of paper and frowned slightly: "Regarding the introduction of immigrants from foreign countries, this matter is handled by Cologne, we don't have to pay too much attention, as long as we can bring in some blacksmiths, our steel products will rise rapidly." ”

Of course, Lu En didn't pay all his attention to the fourth resolution, whether he could introduce the blacksmith was a very troublesome thing, he didn't pay attention to this kind of thing, he let all his subordinates do a good job, of course it was a good thing to be able to introduce it, and it was not a big deal if he couldn't introduce it, anyway, he could also use money to buy armor from Marienburg.

"The fifth resolution, on the exercise of fighters." Lu En Zhengse said: "I propose that all nobles need to train a standing army, although in the past, it was the king who trained the standing army, but now I need you to temper it together, and the elite soldiers must be very rare on the battlefield." ”

A discussion erupted.

Lu En Zhengse said: "We must train elite soldiers, if we don't have enough professional soldiers, our infantry phalanx plan will not work." ”

"Of course, I don't want you to train elite infantry, but I want you to train enough Kingdom knights."

"As for me." Lu En laughed at himself, "Of course I'll train enough Horned Eagle Beast Knights." ”

Lu En's words adjusted the atmosphere, and he now took out the sixth agreement: "Regarding the issue of the establishment of the factory, I arranged it like this. ”

Some of the nobles were overjoyed, knowing from before the war began that Lu En would allocate a sum of money for industrial investment after the capture of Cologne, and that this part of the people had already been chosen.

Of course, this has a lot to do with local raw materials.

"Bordeolo built a winery, Cologne built a glass factory, a fertilizer factory, and Paraón set up a stone factory."

At this moment, Bo Hemond frowned and said, "I have an objection. ”

"How to build four factories, three of them are built on your territory."

Lu En frowned and said: "What do you call 3, I only built one, Cologne is the territory of Queen Estria, not to mention that I came with all the money, it's not normal to build it there." ”

The scene was silent for a while.

"The seventh agreement is about the construction of roads across the country." Lu En said lightly: "Marienburg has already solved the funds for us, we just need to solve it, the nobles of each region are out, and the salary is ready." ”

Many feudal lords were overjoyed.

"Eighth Agreement." Lu En said lightly: "Our country needs more craftsmen, and I want all the nobles to encourage the production of small handicrafts, which is the only place where we can improve our economic strength." ”

Many nobles nodded, in fact, when Lu En planned to implement the trade protection policy, most of the nobles had already begun to encourage craftsmen under Lu En's instructions, after all, there were no factories, and small craftsmen could be used to replace them for a while.

"The Ninth Agreement." Lu En coughed: "It's a bit boring, but I still have to keep talking." ”

"There's nothing to say about this, encourage the Ranger Knights to expand the wilderness, and all the territories they can open up are recognized."

The knights nodded.

"Then there will be none." Lu En shrugged his shoulders: "About diplomacy." ”

"I have instructed that all the undead of Bretonnia be expelled from Bretonnia, and that they will return to their homeland." Lu En said calmly: "Regarding the Sigma Empire, there used to be a lot of misunderstandings between us, but now it has disappeared, although it can't be as good as before, but ...... But we're still friends. ”

Lu En said calmly: "Some people make me ignore the reality of the situation, and the endless overbearing overtures of the High Elves are simply unreasonable, we have a trade relationship with the High Elves, and we are not contaminated with other things." ”

Lu En continued: "The Seran Jihadist Army in the Southern Desert, tell them to hold on, and we will give them some old ammunition. ”

Lu En continued: "I can't send a large army to the Southern Desert to wage a holy war now, at least not now, we need to be realistic. ”

Lu En meant that in fact, there were many fundamentalist warriors in Bretonnia, who advocated going to the Southern Desert to fight the Tomb King to the death when Lu En invaded Cologne, but Lu En insisted on rejecting this stupid idea.

If someone listens to Lu En's speech, they will realize that Lu En didn't talk about the wood elves at all.

In fact, this is the focus of Lu En's administration in the coming period.

Allies are friends, but allies are troublesome things, they are not vassals, and if allies can't completely reassure themselves, then they are not as good as enemies.

At least the enemy is going to fight, and the allies may be stabbed at any time.
